Borland has released a new C++ development environment that claims to be multi-platform and support multiple compiler toolsets. The nice thing about C++BuilderX is that it has form designers that generate code for wxWindows. From the information gathered from the wx mailing list, looks like Borland will put some effort into wxWindows. Interesting times ahead!

The minimum memory requirement is 256M !!! . Is it written in Java ? - The demo is cool anyway.

As expected, India A defeated India B in the Challenger trophy. It was nice of Sachin to present the MoM to Sriram. Disappointed by the performance of McLaren though. Raikkonen still has an outside chance for the title. Had a nice siesta - thanks to the OpenGL "redbook" .

Terrible day it was. Had to work on a web application using perl+apache+M$ Acce$$. The horrible thing was that the machine I had to work with did'nt have a proper text editor. So I had a choice between notepad, wordpad and the good old edit.com . But wordpad and notepad did'nt show line numbers and saving as plain text in wordpad is a pain. So I settled for edit. For an emacs user, this is a severe punishment.
